Wonderful. Thank you. Perfect in itself yet also reads as the beginning of a longer story. Hope so.

Ah, I can demystify the question of leg-covering for you, close reader. I wore one pair of black jeans on the plane—a pair dark enough to hide stains (so no need to launder while traveling), a pair new enough to pass as non-jeans (in case a semiformal situation arose) and, being black jeans, capable of matching with anything. Or close enough.
